The fact of the matter is that those bolts should not work loose, and if they are, there are deeper problems that need to be located. Welding the nut, or double-nutting, or whatever, doesn't fix the real problem: Why are those bolts loosening up?
(snip) We are trying to find solutions for the OP whose nuts are backing off of the bolt (no pun intended). We could always recommend drilling the nut and bolt and putting a piece of safety wire through it but that is not realistic. (Snip)
The same thing if I had to rebuild my engine in the wilderness? really?
